The Latest Witcher 3 Freebie: A New Quest

Share this:

As The Witcher 3 [official site] nears the last of its sixteen planned free ‘DLC’ releases, developers CD Projekt RED are dragging things out, the awful teases. This Wednesday brings only one new pack, rather than the usual two, in the form of a new quest titled ‘Where the Cat and Wolf Play…’. Sounds like another Witcher might be involved in this one, aye?

The description from RED explains:

“Explore a forgotten village and discover its terrifying secret. Find out who or what slaughtered its inhabitants and use all your witcher skills to confront this mysterious force.”

I’d tell you more, but it seems I can’t actually do this quest yet on my save. Supposedly you pick it up from the Oberton or Crow’s Perch noticeboard, but its absence makes me suspect I may need to complete something else first. I’m half-way into a quest or two involving other Witcher schools, y’see. I wonder what that Cat lot are up to this time. I hear the quest takes about ten minutes to complete.

Datamining showed the internal name DLC #9 refers to a New Game+. I’m guessing it fell behind schedule and will be released later. Perhaps such delays could be a reason they’re stretching it to one item per week now?
